Background: Acute pancreatitis is a significant complication of endoscopic retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with no established prevention strategy. Recent studies suggest that rectal indomethacin may reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), but its effectiveness varies with patient risk levels and the concurrent use of pancreatic stenting. This updated meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of rectal indomethacin in preventing PEP.
